What is the Max EGT temp I should peg at?? I've been told 900 at the end of my run....any other opinions?

i don't know the answer to your question, but i think before we start we need to decide whether we're talking about °C or °F.

i would also like to know where everybody has their probe when they reply ...and what kind of probe is it ...drill and tap or clamp-on?

900C or ~1650F is the max temp I feel safe at. I've got an autometer probe about 3 inches from the #4 exhaust port. Its a drill and tap type.

I would agree, and I also have the Autometert tap, only mine is in the down piperight after the exhaust housing.

I completely agree with Corbin. 850-900 celsius at the end of a pull is about as hot as I'd feel comfortable with. (esp. with stock internals) I'm usually well under that on most pulls. Probably closer to 840-850.

Also, I have a Westach probe and guage. The probe is mounted the same place Corbin's is as well.(#4 runner, 3-4 inches away)

Hehe

Yeah Greg is talking Celcius here. One thing to keep in mind is that he is running JE pistons and Crower rods which, from what I understand, should allow him more rooom for error than stock internals would. This is a good thread though and I would like to hear what everyone thinks as well.

i see at most 1300 F ...and that is about 3 inches after the turbo outlet in the downpipe. I have the autometer tap in style.

what should it be if my GREDDY probe is 1.5-2" from the #4 runner?
